Just two weeks ago, the Travel Security Administration said the TSA received "minimal complaints" since launching its "enhanced security procedures" in airports -- full body scans (aka "porno scans") that render naked images of passengers, and invasive pat-downs for those who opt out.
Of course, that was before John Tyner told a San Diego airport security agent, "If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested," and a rallying cry was born. On Wednesday -- a major flying day before Thanksgiving -- airline travelers are asked to observe Opt Out Day by opting out of X-ray scanners in favor of the pat-down, creating a significant log jam of protest at the airport. But that's not your only option.
Whether or not you're traveling on Wednesday, there are plenty of other ways you can let the TSA know what you think. "Individuals appalled by these procedures have a right to submit formal complaints to the TSA," the Electronic Frontier Foundation reports. "It is important the passengers and crew submit complaints to showcase the widespread resistance to these procedures.
"
The EFF plans to file a Freedom of Information Act request to test the claim that the TSA has seen minimal increases in complaints, and the privacy advocacy encourages travelers to submit any complaints as well.
